write_v so_o i_o know_v likewise_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o such_o as_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v reform_v but_o by_o most_o bitter_a and_o sharp_a

will_v rather_o live_v like_o beast_n void_a of_o law_n and_o all_o good_a order_n where_o otherwise_o if_o her_o majesty_n pretend_v to_o rule_v by_o rigour_n over_o they_o who_o know_v not_o that_o she_o can_v send_v such_o a_o power_n over_o into_o ireland_n as_o in_o very_o short_a space_n will_v make_v quick_a riddance_n of_o all_o that_o ragged_a rout_n which_o now_o so_o vex_v and_o molest_v the_o country_n but_o she_o rather_o seek_v with_o mercy_n to_o reclaim_v they_o and_o with_o lenity_n to_o reform_v they_o send_v they_o over_o from_o time_n to_o time_n such_o governor_n to_o direct_v they_o as_o be_v neither_o find_v to_o be_v rigorous_a cruel_a nor_o merciless_a but_o how_o much_o be_v the_o country_n bind_v to_o her_o majesty_n at_o this_o present_a in_o send_v

to_o show_v what_o report_n run_v amongst_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o law_n whereof_o some_o be_v english_a and_o some_o be_v irish_a the_o irish_a they_o say_v favour_v no_o english_a man_n cause_n

the_o majesty_n of_o god._n in_o those_o war_n therefore_o thus_o take_v in_o hand_n and_o upon_o such_o sufficient_a cause_n it_o shall_v seem_v likewise_o as_o requisite_a and_o necessary_a that_o
